Ingredients

Pozole Ingredients:

31 oz or 900gm hominy drained and rinsed
3 whole dried guajillos chiles
2 whole dried ancho chiles
2 whole dried pasilla chiles optional
3 whole dried chiles de arbol optional
8.5 cups vegetable broth
16 oz container of crimini mushrooms sliced
½ medium white onion
2 whole large garlic cloves
1 teaspoon coarse sea salt adjust to taste
1 teaspoon dried Mexican oregano adjust to taste
1 large dried bay leaf or 2 small ones
2 Tablespoons olive oil
2-3 packs ramen noodles discard seasoning packets

Topping Choices:

2 cups shredded cabbage or iceberg lettuce adjust to taste
6 whole radishes sliced or chopped
2 whole limes cut into wedges
2 whole fresh serranos or jalapenos thinly sliced

Instructions

Remove the stems and seeds from the chiles, thoroughly rinse under cool water. Place then in a medium pot with the onion and garlic and pour in enough water to cover. Boil over medium-high heat until soft, about 10 minutes.
Place the boiled ingredients into a blender cup and pour in 3/4 cups of the boiling broth. Blend until you achieve a smooth sauce, adding more boiling broth if necessary.
In a large pot, where you’ll be cooking the pozole, heat the oil over medium heat, once hot sauté the mushrooms until soft and a little crispy if you’d like.
(To save time you can also cook the mushrooms while the chiles boil.)
Place a colander over the pot and strain the chile sauce into it, discard any little bits left over.
Add the seasonings, the drained and rinsed hominy, then very carefully pour in the vegetable broth. Mix to well combine.
Cover the pot and simmer for 30 to 40 minutes over medium-low heat, or until the hominy is tender. Taste before serving and adjust salt if necessary.
Right before serving, follow the instructions on the ramen package for cooking – remember, you’re only cooking the noodles and discarding the seasoning pack it comes with.
Serve by placing some boiled and drained ramen noodles into your serving bowl. Then ladle in the pozole over the noodles. Serve as much of the pozole as desired and top with your favorite garnishes.

Notes

Serve immediately so the noodles don’t over cook and become soggy. Store cooked ramen noodles and pozole separately too!
